		<description><![CDATA[909-239-5374  Colors on Concrete owner, Marty Meewis, Upland, CA, engraved a logo onto the floor for a client. Professional, tasteful work.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.engraveacrete.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/inlandvision.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1270" title="inlandvision" src="http://www.engraveacrete.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/inlandvision-300x238.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="238" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.colorsonconcrete.net/index.html" target="_blank">Colors on Concrete</a> owner, Marty Meewis was approached by a customer who liked a design seen in <a href="http://www.concretenetwork.com/contractor/colors-on-concrete-upland-ca_2228/" target="_blank">Concrete Network</a> where Marty markets his business.  The customer asked if a similar design could be done for his eye care office.</p>
<p>Marty replied, &#8220;Yes, but why don&#8217;t we use your logo in the design instead?&#8221;  The customer&#8217;s response was, &#8220;Can we do that?&#8221;</p>
<p>The photo shows Marty sure could do it.  He used a <a href="http://concreteresurrection.com/concrete-engraving-tools/shop-for-tools/the-mongoose-411-cutting-unit.html" target="_blank">Mongoose 411</a> cutting unit to cut the major eye shape on the logo.  Then he designed the &#8220;people&#8221; who make up the &#8216;pupil of the eye&#8221;  freehand with a<a href="http://concreteresurrection.com/wasp-concrete-engraver.html" target="_blank"> Wasp</a> concrete engraver.</p>
<p>On first glance, you can understand why this doctor is a satisfied customer.  The logo is graceful.  The engraving enhances that, plus offers a low maintenance floor advertisement that is in professional good taste.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[909-239-5374&#124;Colors on Concrete, owned by Marty Meewis of Upland, CA, engraved a map of the United States on the concrete at St. Irenaeus Parish School in Cypress, CA]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.engraveacrete.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/map2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1280" title="map2" src="http://www.engraveacrete.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/map2-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>The students at <a href="http://www.stischoolcypress.org/" target="_blank">St. Irenaeus Parish</a> school in Cypress, CA share their patriotic spirit with one another at playtime every day because they have a 27 ft. x 38 ft. map of the United States on the concrete at their school.  The map is located in the courtyard/mezzanine of the school and has enjoyed quite a few little shoes walking across it.</p>
<p>The map has been at the school for a number of years, but the states&#8217; shapes were always painted, an annual project.</p>
<p>A parent approached <a href="http://www.colorsonconcrete.net/index.html" target="_blank">Colors on Concrete </a>asking about a better solution.  Marty Meewis, owner of Colors on Concrete came to the rescue.  Each state shape was cut out of poster paper then taped onto masonite to create a more permanent template shape.  The coloring is epoxy tinted with bright pigments for a permanent, easy to maintain map.  The borders between states and all around the map were engraved with Engrave-A-Crete&#8217;s <a href="http://concreteresurrection.com/k-crete-pro-pack.html" target="_blank">Kaleidocrete</a> tools which include a Shark, <a href="http://concreteresurrection.com/barracuda-concrete-engraver.html">Barracuda</a> and <a href="http://concreteresurrection.com/wasp-concrete-engraver.html" target="_blank">Wasp</a>.</p>
